There is increasing evidence to suggest how good skilled volunteering can be for the volunteer and the recipient organisation.
Additionally our feedback has shown a big benefit to organisations that send volunteers to carry out skilled volunteering as part of their CSR initiative. The best example to date is a team of skilled volunteers who carried out a project with RSPCA. The team were from the Department of Energy and Climate Change (part of GORS - The Government Operations Research Service). You can read about their experience here
The article below from Cranfield Trust explains further how volunteering can lift you firms performance:

If you work for an organisation that has operational researchers/analytical staff then you could benefit from signing up to Pro Bono O.R.
